I've found instances of "route=horse" used in Europe, and the original BNT concept is for a long distance bridle track. It carefully avoids national parks and wilderness areas, where horses aren't allowed. The BNT idea is attributed to R M Williams. I'd already used "foot=yes" and "network=nwn" tags in the route relation, but they didn't get it rendered as a hiking track with "network=horse". I'll try "sac_scale=hiking" next. I also included "bicycle=yes" in the route relation, but I thought it best to put more specific bicycle-suitability info into the individual ways for the reasons you mention.
